Me Too By Ellen Brammar This play was commissioned as part of TEN and first performed in March 2019 by 55 members of Hull Truck Theatre’s Young Company. TEN featured 10 ten-minute plays, each based on a year in the decade since Hull Truck Theatre moved in to its Ferensway home. This play was inspired by 2017’s #MeToo movement. Plot This play is made-up of four thematically linked scenes written in response to 2017’s #MeToo movement. Notes: Recommended for 14+. This play contains mild swearing and references to sexual assault. This play was written to be performed as an ensemble which means that the cast take a shared responsibility for telling story rather than playing individual characters. Each chorus line is indicated by a dash. However, if there is a character name on the left then the dialogue on the right should be spoken by that character. When a there is a / during a piece of dialogue this indicates an interruption. About the playwright: Ellen is a Hull-based writer and founding company member of Middle Child Theatre.
